Individuals who are telepathic and subjects of experiments have produced less than desired results and totally tantalizing. However, to be proven scientifically, the results of telepathy tests must be consistent, repeatable and measurable. And scientific investigation falls shore when it comes to telepathy. Results can’t always be duplicated because they are inconsistent. This, so some say, proves individuals aren’t Telepathic and still to other’s it proves we have a lot to learn to understand and need more developed procedures for testing for telepathy.
Yet, questions about telepathy remain. How can people communicate, at least to a significant degree, without making use of any of the five physical senses-communicate with pure thought? Well, human beings do this now with the use of artificial communication technology. For instance, probably every home in the civilized world has a radio in it-but radio waves, which surely do exist, can't be observed intuitively or felt with our five physical senses. So, it would seem that telepathy is made possible by some force or energy that is there but, like the radio wave, cannot be intuitively or tactiley observed. Yet, the problem here is that the human brain isn 't a radio receiver...
For the scientific community there is one very important reason why studies into Telepathy continue. The fact that thought waves can be defined as electrical and magnetic fields caused by the brain and this has been proven. Although things might become a little difficult to follow, we are going to attempt to explain all of this more simply.
Although it sounds complicated, scientifically speaking, our thoughts are nothing more than neurons being moved between different synapses with our brain. But what has been thoroughly proven is that when these neurons are transferring between the synapses they create a small electrical current which also produces a small magnetic field. And this can be measured. Despite their tiny size it helps to remember that there are literally tens of thousands of synapses firing at any particular time.
So now we are left with a few rather important questions to ponder. For instance, do the electrical and magnetic waves mentioned above also carry content? Surely it does not just produce the brain’s equivalent of useless static? And if these waves do carry content does that play a part in people being able to communicate with each other using only their minds to do so? Of course the next most obvious question would be that considering that, would it be possible to control these brain waves if they have had some kind of training? Perhaps techniques such as controlled thought and meditation can actually be used to mould the waves into a form of meaningful communication.
It is important to remember that electrical and magnetic fields much, much larger than the ones created by our brains are all around us all the time. Thanks to our stereos, televisions, computers, etc, much larger electro-magnetic fields can easily drown out ours.
But it is possible to boost the human brain to produce a spike in bio-electrical and bio-magnetic brain waves. This occurs when a person is in a heightened emotional state and experiencing pain, shock, fear or the feeling of being threatened. It happens because our synapses are firing more neurons at the same time.
Parapsychology researchers documented brief periods of Telepathic communication. Instances such as a parent (usually a mother) when her child has been hurt when miles from each other. Is there a connection between the spiking of such brain activity and communication telepathically? Do two individuals, related to each other, play a part in telepathy? Or coincidence?
The jury of mainstream science is out on telepathy for now, and the general attitude is one of doubtfulness. However, this is slowly but surely changing, and there are more researchers all the time who become convinced that telepathy is a real ability and that all it takes is the right training for just about anyone to become telepathic.
